Today's post is brought to you by my friends over at Roomscape. Roomscape vintage furniture have long been one of my favourite dealers, specialising in 70s brass lighting - my absolute fave. I wanted to pick their expert brains about Maison Charles lamps and Maison Jansen coffee tables, as I kept coming across the design houses almost every time I found things to obsess over, like the palm tree lamp they are so famous for. Read on to learn how to spot an authentic Maison Charles lamp.

Every now and then a contemporary piece of furniture comes along that blows my love for vintage out of the water. Amy Somerville's designs did just that. I stumbled across Amy's pieces with the help of the loveliness that is google. Looking for a 'green armchair' to perfectly encapsulate a rich jewel green of a mallard's head (yep you heard right) when creating a colour scheme inspired by the bird, I came across the image of her Minx Chair.

I'm about to go all marmite on your asses. You're about to either dive wholeheartedly into this post or turn off altogether, because I'm about to use the K word. KARDASHIANS!

A few seasons back on Keeping Up With The Kardashians or KUWTK for us die hard fans, something happened. The fam moved on up out of their humble (ish) beginnings and into a snazzy new mansion. Gone were the tacky gold curtains and beige, beige, beige, and in came style, sophistication and class. Khloe, Kourtney and Kris seemed to have a universal style theme running between all of their homes and boy I liked it. Apparantly Kris even loves monochrome so much thats he has black toilet paper. I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE.

The interior of Cafe Zedel in London's Soho reminded me of the slight Art Deco nod at Bob Bob Ricard. I wasn't at all surprised when I learnt that they were created by the same mind. Who on earth was the interior designer behind such a unique expression of colour and style? David Collins.

Ann Getty embodies everything I love, eccentric, eclectic, off the wall, wacky interior styling with a really big dash of opulence. Of course she has an antique crushed velvet chaise longue in her pool room. OF COURSE SHE DOES.
